Re: Garlic
I've got garlic growing in a pot. It's been there for about 5 years now
It was a supermarket one that sprouted so I stuck it in a pot, never dug it up, but in summer have used some of the leaves as a garnish on buttery jacket spuds or in cottage cheese.
For anyone who likes a hint of garlic rather than to repel vampires they taste rather nice.

I think the secret is to plant in early autumn so it can get off to a good start in the warm earth before the bad weather comes.
